Special Sessions

Taking Free Space Optical (FSO) Technologies to Market

ORGANIZERSHarald Haas, University of Strathclyde, UK Michael Watts, Analog Photonics, USAThere are different FSO technologies addressing different use cases. These include outdoor point-to-point FSO systems for terrestrial and also space applications; visible light communications (VLC); optical camera communications (OCC); and LiFi. Common to all these classes of FSO technologies are metrics such as: data rate, energy efficiency, distance, security, size of modem and resilience to link blockages and other channel impairments. The fundamental technological challenges, however, differ, which is reflected in transmitters and detectors. In this special session a group of four leading experts discuss the respective technical challenges and explore market opportunities for the different classes of FSO technologies.

Vision Talks: Beyond 2021 and Towards 2030

ORGANIZERSRamon Casellas, CTTC, Spain Chris Cole, II-VI Incorporated, USA Ming-Jun Li, Corning, USALooking forward to the next decade, this special session gets industry experts together to share their visions for optical fiber communications in the next decade and discuss the emerging hot topics and groundbreaking innovations.

Lessons Learned: Networks 2020 Status and Next Steps

ORGANIZERSSteve Grubb, Facebook, USA Loukas Paraschis, Infinera, USAThe global pandemic has had a profound effect on our networks and traffic resulting in changes in usage and behavior. These trends will persist to a large degree, now that the benefits of these are realized and fundamental behavior in how we communicate and consume information has been modified. This panel will cover the 2020 surge of traffic, but more importantly the changes in network traffic and architecture for the future.

Open Networking Summit

Towards Converged Open Packet-optical Networks

ORGANIZERSFilippo Cugini, CNIT, Italy Wataru Ishida, NTT Electronics America, USA Victor Lopez, Telefonica, SpainThis summit provides the most recent updates and trends on open technologies, architectures and interfaces in optical networking. Invited speakers will give their views on network disaggregation and how it is driving the design of new devices and technologies such as open optical and packet/optical transponders (e.g., Phoenix, Cassini, etc.), open source network operating system, and open planning tools. The speakers will also report on the progress in initiatives such as OpenRoadm, Telecom Infra Project, OpenConfig, and ONF. The session closes with a panel discussion where operators and vendors will debate deployment strategies, challenges in open networking and discuss the expected trends towards fully converged open packet-optical networks.

Rump Session

Did the Optics Industry Blunder by Switching Intra-Datacenter Links from NRZ to PAM4? Will More DSP like PAM6 and Coherent Follow, or Will WDM and Parallel Save the Day?

Two teams, WDM and DSP, will debate this question. Each team will present their perspective in introductory presentations followed by vigorous audience participation.
